Well, it’s over. AC Milan is out of the Italian Serie A title race after losing the derby against Inter Milan on Sunday. Nevertheless, the Rossoneri are still in the race for a spot in the UEFA Champions League, which is why they must return to the winning column as soon as possible.
As for Torino, the Granata are exceeding expectations, and defeating AC Milan, again, would allow them to dream of playing in a UEFA competition. However, they come in as the soccer betting online underdogs, even after already defeating the Rossoneri twice.
Let’s check the latest Serie A news, stats, injury reports, and Serie A lines for AC Milan vs Torino. We’ve got plenty of Serie A picks for you to consider.
AC Milan: Bleeding Out
At the beginning of the year, AC Milan was in second place. The Rossoneri even began 2023 with a 2-1 victory over Salernitana. Nevertheless, they failed to win any of their next five matches, seven if we include the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup. They’re 0-2-5 since defeating the Granata.
Most recently, AC Milan lost 1-0 to Inter Milan. Head coach Stefano Pioli made some changes, including leaving Rafael Leao, the team’s top scorer, on the bench and switching to a 3-5-2 formation, but it ended up being worse. The team didn’t even take a shot on target.
Despite recent results, the Rossoneri dominate the soccer lines for Friday’s clash thanks to a -120 price. AC Milan is 7-1-2 when playing at home and must regain some confidence prior to facing Tottenham in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
The good news is that the talent is there. Besides Leao, Milan’s attacking unit includes Olivier Giroud, Divock Origi, Ante Rebic and Alexis Saelemaekers. Regarding the Serie A, Milan always scores after failing to do so in the previous match.
Torino: Highly Motivated
Torino is exceeding expectations. The Granata are sitting in seventh place with 30 points, eight less than AC Milan. For them, qualifying for a UEFA competition would be like winning the title.
Most recently, the Granata defeated Udinese 1-0 on Sunday, with Yann Karamoh as the scorer. They controlled the game from start to end, winning possession with 56% and finishing with 11 shots. Head coach Ivan Juric has done a great job establishing an aggressive mentality.
Aleksey Miranchuk, Arnaldo Sanabria and Nikola Vlasic have scored four goals each. Precisely, the three of them are the main reason to consider including the visitors in your soccer picks, especially at +360. Plus, the Granata haven’t lost in their last four games on the road, scoring in all four and finishing with a clean sheet once.
Speaking of defense, Torino has allowed 22 goals in 21 games. That’s the fourth-best record in the league. Not bad for a team whose main objective at the beginning of the season was to avoid relegation.

AC Milan vs Torino Picks & Prediction
Despite losing to Inter Milan, AC Milan showed some improvement in defense. Prior to the derby, it allowed at least three goals in each of its previous three games in all competitions. That being said, I think the Rossoneri are already focusing on the UCL, which is why I think Torino will be able to snatch a point. Plus, the Granata were recently eliminated from the Coppa Italia, which means finishing in the Serie A top six is all they have left.
The Milan is listed at -120 in our Vegas Serie A lines. This means that if you wager $100 on Milan, you have a chance to win $83. The Torino is +360, offers a chance to win $360 on a $100 wager. The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives Milan a 54.55% chance to win, with Torino at 21.74%.
